when you help someone out financially

and they say they will make payments at such and such time monthly..then that time comes and goes..so you merely ask for communication..and they get an attitude like you owe them money....

anyone else experience this? 😤😤😤

No because I don’t lend money to people or let them stay in my home. I did let a friend stay once, never again.

@iamonfire696 it really sucks that we cant help out much this way :( what happened when they stayed?

@foldedunfolding She did nothing she said she was going to do. She found a man very quickly and moved in with him lol. Thank goodness.

You have such a good heart and people take advantage. That’s the way I was until I kept getting screwed over. No more of that.

@iamonfire696 aw thank you love..i just keep coming back to that verse about not growing weary doing good. and i see "the church" after Jesus as NOT the actual tabernacle..so i dont give to the tax exempt structure..i try to give directly and pointedly. but im only in a position to loan and not give right now. just sucks. some of the most bitter people around were once the sweetest, i guarantee it!

@foldedunfolding I will support my friends in other ways but I won’t do financially because it’s usually a point of contention.

@iamonfire696 yeah and honestly if you VALUE THEM, you want no contention!! i think i need to focus more on making meals, giving rides, watching kids, references for jobs..that kind of thing i guess. what do u do to support them?
iamonfire696 · 41-45, F
@foldedunfolding Yes! Those are the things that I do.

Just things like that to help out. A babysitter is expensive so just taking their kids for a date night, go to a job interview or so they can run errands is helpful.
